vengeful - v e schwab
loveboat taipei - abigail hing wen
children of virtue and vengeance - tomi adeyemi
the death of mrs westaway - ruth ware
open to buddy reading any of these soon if anyone is interested :)
Daisy I would definitely be up for doing a buddy read for The Death Of Mrs Westaway. It’s been on my to read list for ages. Haven’t bought a copy yet and probably won’t have the time to read it in February as I’m already being pretty optimistic with my TBR considering I’m due a baby slap bang in the middle of the month, but if you still haven’t read it by March, drop me a message and we can buddy read it ☺️
I would be up for reading The Death of Mrs Westaway in March :). It’s been on my TBR and would be cool to read it with some people!!! My February TBR might be:
- Red, White & Royal Blue
- Daisy Jones & The Six
- Imaginary Friend (probably leading into March)
I’ve had The Death of Mrs. Westaway on my TBR for a while now. Maybe I’ll finally have an excuse to finally get to it. My current TBR for February is looking like...
The Other People (of course)
Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia
With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
Sadie by Courtney Summers
I’m still a little bit knew to ready so I don’t usually get anymore than 3-4ish books a month sometimes only 1. But we can hope February will be a good month if reading for me.
Oh this is cool then, seems a few of us are up for The death of Mrs Westaway. If everyone who does want to take part in a buddy read of it. Feel free to message me and we could set up a thread on here at the end of feb ☺️

in no particular order, though the two King books in there are mostly a maaaaybe kind of thing, i've been reading The Stand for about three years now... so i have to start it all over again, the size of both books is... daunting
good luck to everyone! may you have a good reading month (:

I'm also planning on taking out of the library; 'Turn of the Key' by Ruth Ware because I recently read 'The Death of Mrs. Westaway' and 'The Taking of Annie Thorne' by C. J. Tudor because as much as I'm obviously going to be reading 'The Other People' I didn't enjoy the 'The Chalk Man' so I want to read Tudor's other 2 books to make a final decision on whether or not her future books are for me.
Obviously planning on reading so many books, I'm not going to get to them all, but a TBR is what you're planning to read so this is what I hope to get to.
Thinking I’ll be able to get to:The haunting of hill house
Elevation
Less
Baby teeth
The last time I lied
Bunny
The whisper man
Little fires everywhere
My sister, the serial killer
Trying to branch out a little this year and read at least one book that’s not a thriller.

4. The Drawing of Three (Dark Tower book2)
5. Seduction In Death

Any one down for buddy reading the Wheel of Time series at some point? I want to read it so bad, but I’m absolutely terrified of it. It’s gigantic.
I have a very ambitious TBR for February, but I will be reading mostly black authors for Black History Month. I will try to fit The Other Man in towards the end of Feb, and if I can't I'll try to read it first thing March. I'll be reading books by Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, Roxane Gay, Nnedi Okorafor, N.K. Jemisin and others.
My February TBR is a little crazy, but I know I won't be able to get to them all. One of my goals for this year is to read some of the fantasy and Sci-fi series I've had on my shelf for a really long time (some as long as 20 years) Besides The Other People I'm hoping to get to:The Great Hunt - Robert Jordan

Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali

Pet by Akwaeke Emezi

Slay by Brittney Morris
The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus
Tight by Torrey Maldonado
I'm really excited to read all of these because some of them have been on my TBR for a while. I'm also surprised that almost all of these books are shorter than books I usually read, and I wonder if it's correlated with the author's identity.
I'd like to read The Wives by Tarryn Fisher and Regretting You by Colleen Hoover. Hopefully I'll be in the mood for Bright Side by Kim Holden as well, but that's all I've got planned :)
- the shining- Catch and Kill
- A curse so dark and lonely
- The last wish (Witcher)
- Alice
- little women

Elisabeth I’m also hoping to read the shining this month! I read IT last month and I’m actively trying to read more of my Stephen king collection this year
I don't have a full tbr but I'm trying to read anything written by a Black or African American writer, main character, or where race is addressed. this is what I've got so far

- The sky is everywhere (currently reading)
- The honeymooners
- Strange the dreamer
- The song of Achilles
- Little white lies
- Always and forever Lara Jean
Chelic, I’m ashamed to admit this’ll be the first Stephen king I read hahaha 😆.
Elisabeth, don’t be IT was the first one I had read. I found it almost intimidating with the amount of books and how long they are to get started.
My February TBR so far will be
I started With the Fire High with the intention of finishing it in February and I think I'm gonna finish. lol So much for a February read. But I suppose this means room for another book. :)
Maybe if I write them down, I'll actually...you know, read them.
American Fire and The Giver are for 2 book clubs I run at my work.
My February TBR is very eclectic and kind of all over the place this month
Literally Dead Book Club

Anger is an Enemy by John Lyndon
We Were On A Break by Lindsey Kelk
I Found You by Lisa Jewel

If anyone has any of these on their TBR feel free to message me about buddy reads. Also, would love your recommendations on other genre books I might like.
